Mahindra had launched the new Scorpio Classic SUV in the country in 2022. This SUV is sold alongside the new gen Scorpio-N, which comes with all-new styling, interior and new set of engines. The new Scorpio Classic has also received positive response from buyers, as it retains the popular look and feel.
Mahindra will soon upgrade the Scorpio Classic SUV with the RDE compliant engine. Moreover, the SUV will receive a new mid-spec S5 variant. The new S5 variant will be positioned between the base-spec S and the top-spec S11 variant. While the base-spec S variant has only 9-seat option, the S5 and S11 variants come with 7- and 9-seat options.
The base-spec S 9-seater model comes with bench seat in the second row and 2×2 side facing bench seats at rear. The top-spec model is available with both captain and bench-type seats in the second-row. Similar seating layout will also be offered on the S5 trim. In terms of features, the new variant is likely to receive steel wheels with cover, audio system, powered ORVMs, dual airbags, ABS with EBD & brake assist, collapsible steering and others.
The Mahindra Scorpio Classic will be powered by a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, which will meet the upcoming BS6 Phase II or Real Driving Emission (RDE) norms. This engine is capable of producing 130bhp of power and 300Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. Mahindra will also update the petrol and diesel engines of the Scorpio-N to meet the upcoming RDE norms.
